Freedom

A self-catering holiday break in a privately owned home in Marbella provides
you with a lot more than a holiday package. A self catering holiday allows
you
total
holiday
freedom to do
the things you want, when you want. It doesn't tie you to a holiday company's
timetable of
events. It allows you to enjoy your holiday in the way you want to. Your
self-catering holiday in Marbella not only gives you total control of
your itinerary, you will also get superior accommodation than you might
otherwise get from a low value package holiday or cheap hotel accommodation.

Families

Self catering holidays are particularly popular with holiday makers
going on a family holiday. Choosing the self catering option helps to keep
down
the cost and allows holiday makers to choose the
sort of meals that they want to eat. This is important when children are
going on holiday with you because younger children may want to eat at different
times to adults. In self catering
accommodation you can eat at the
most convenient time for you.

Superior Accomodation

If you have ever gone on an apartment package holiday
with a tour operator then you know how cramped some of these package holiday
apartments can be. However, renting self-catering apartments
directly
from the owner is probably a far better holiday option. Apartments tend to be
larger in size and nicely furnished with quality furniture and little personal
touches provided by the apartment owner. The larger size means more space
to move around in. You can get far superior self-catering holiday accommodation
for the same or lower price when you rent privately.

Home from Home

Private apartment owners maintain
and look after their
apartments much better than package holiday apartments simply because
the apartment owner stay in their own holiday apartment and have invested
their
own money in buying the apartment. They want to enjoy a higher
level of self-catering holiday accommodation themselves
when they stay in their own holiday apartment. It is quite simply their
home from home which you also benefit from.

Eating Options

By staying in self catering accommodation you are able to
eat out at local restaurants or to cook back
at your self catering accommodation. Some nights you will sample the local
cuisine
and wine at a local
restaurant and other nights you may want to have a quieter simpler meal.
You can also try out local recipes by buying locally grown items at a local
market
for your own bespoke meal. In
self catering accommodation, it gives you the opportunity to sample food
that is new to you and that you may well not have tried before.

Relaxation

There are many fabulous apartments in Marbella, and many are found
in quieter parts of the town in beautiful tropical oases like Carolina
Park. By choosing
apartments like these you can choose when you want the bright lights and
fun and when you want to relax to read a book or eat quietly on your balcony
overlooking beautiful gardens.

Personal Service

By booking directly with the apartment owner or manager, you will receive a more personal service. Each owner knows most about their property and how to best enjoy a holiday in the area of your choice. They are in the best place to advise you on how to enjoy your holiday in their property.

Better Value

Owners who advertise their properties on sites like Holiday Lettings have to pay a commission to the lettings company. The lettings company will most likely add a booking charge to your bill. It is usually cheaper to book direct with the property owner.
